Mukuntuweap

Blessed to hike this before the crowds arrived. This treacherous razor’s edge trail cut into the sandstone is on the National Register of Historic Places, and affords folks a birds eye view of Zion Valley. The Paiutes call/called the Valley Mukuntuweap (“Straight Up Land”) and for a short while the National Park was called that too before the Mormons had their way with the name.

Zion.
